Default fuel leak

i have dual tanks and replaced the rear tank and fuel pump. Since then the front tank is leaking fuel from the rollover vent. i replaced the vent thinking it was bad cause of the pressure in the tank. has anyone had this problem?

You don't say what year but; that sounds like cross-filling. Especially likely in 90 up models, a weak check valve in the front tank could let pressure (and fuel) bleed off into the front tank when you're using the rear one.
Could have been why you had low pressure from the rear pump originally.
You could install an in-line check valve on the front tank if that turns out to be the issue.
